One hour of sexual harassment prevention training to all non-supervisory employees by January 1, 2020.

Training must occur within 6 months of the employee starting the position (and every 2 years thereafter).

This instructor-led webinar will engage in discussions on all forms of sexual harassment (verbal, visual, and physical). Other types of prohibited harassment, discrimination, retaliation and abusive conduct will also be covered in an interactive format.

Supervisors will learn how to recognize problems and about their responsibility in the prevention of sexual harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and abusive conduct. Topics include reporting, investigating and resolving complaints, parameters of confidentiality, and practical tips on how to stay out of trouble and keep your workplace harassment-free.
